The catalytic transformation of C− O bonds plays an irreplaceable role in nature and the
synthetic world due to the most widespread and naturally rich nature of such chemical …

Chemists' ability to synthesize structurally complex, high-value organic molecules from
simple starting materials is limited by methods to selectively activate and functionalize strong …

Despite the fact that metal-catalyzed asymmetric alkylative cross-couplings have been well-
established, enantioselective alkylative substitution of an unactivated C–O bond remains a …

Plasmonic catalysis has drawn significant interest recently, as the catalysis can be driven by
visible light. Here, we show a new tactic to apply low-flux visible-light irradiation on …

Metal–ligand cooperativity in homogeneous catalysis is emerging as a powerful tool for the
design of efficient transition-metal catalysts. This perspective highlights recent advances in …

Despite recent progress in the catalytic transformation of inert phenol derivatives as
alternatives to aryl halides and triflates, attempts at the cross‐coupling of inert phenol …

C (aryl)–OMe bond functionalization catalyzed by cobalt (II) chloride in combination with a
nacnac-type ligand and magnesium as a reductant is reported. Borylation and benzoylation …

Kilogram-scale highly selective catalytic hydrogenation of the aryl nitro group in the
intermediate of crizotinib has been developed, which adopted continuous-flow technology …

A dinickel (0)–N2 complex, stabilized with a rigid acridane-based PNP pincer ligand, was
studied for its ability to activate C (sp2)–H and C (sp2)–O bonds. Stabilized by a Ni–μ–N2 …

Study of the kinetics of intramolecular aryl ether C− O bond cleavage by Ni was facilitated by
access to a family of metal complexes supported by diphosphines with pendant aryl‐methyl …
